Icons
By clicking or tapping on an icon, you use a function or confirm an application message.
Some symbols have two states: A colorless state (see left example) and a highlighted state (see right example). If an icon is colorless, the corresponding function is currently deactivated. If an icon is highlighted, the corresponding function is currently activated.
Right click on an icon to view a short description in the info area.

Options
